Finch had always been his light at the end of the tunnel. She was, in many ways, one of the only constant things he had in his life. Sure, he always had his father, always had Merlin and Sandpiper and Pipit, but everything else was often so uncertain. Even Sparrow, though her presence had made itself known lately, was often gone, and he hadn't seen Starling in quite some time now. His mother, too, was a whole different story. Seeing Finch always cheered him up, and the smile he wore was genuine as she greeted him, leaning to offer him a kiss.

Something about her seemed off, though. She seemed nervous, and he picked up on it easily. He sea-green gaze fixed on her as she pulled away, watching quietly and thoughtfully as she began to speak. Immediately he knew it was something.. out of the ordinary, though his heart clenched at the possibility of it being something he didn't want to hear. The only news he heard lately seemed to be bad news - he wasn't sure how much more he could take. Her words made him feel a bit of sudden dread, tugging at his chest. She'd met someone? Did that mean she was leaving? He couldn't help but let his mind go straight to there. Abandonment was a constant theme in his life, especially this last year or so, and he was beginning to wonder if he had some kind of complex now. He tried not to cringe.

But.. Finch quickly assured him she wasn't leaving. Why did it feel like she was, though? He tried to fight a slight frown that wanted to overtake his features. "Who is it?" he asked, warily, after a long pause. He doubted he knew who it was, anyway, since she seemed to be implying he wasn't from Abaven. Why else would she want to reassure him she wasn't leaving? "And.. does he treat you well? He better." Lark's voice was less wary now, tinged with seriousness. God help him if he didn't treat her well; Lark would have no issue at all trying to hurt someone who did his sister wrong.  "I'd like to meet him," he finally said with a slow nod. He was glad, at least, that it seemed important that Lark meet this man.. whoever he might be, but it didn't stop the worry suddenly churning in his stomach.
